from Area 51: Microsoft's MOJAVE experiment

[ahhaa]

Sometimes Microsoft can flip out even their most reliable reviewers. For your amusement, check this post out...

The Mojave Experiment is like “The Pepsi Challenge” but where participants have to judge which is the best drink based on seeing someone else take a sip.

/.../HP revealed how Microsoft is twisting still strong XP shipment numbers to count them as Vista sales.
"From the 30th of June, we have no longer been able to ship a PC with an XP licence," said Jane Bradburn, a marketing manager for HP Australia.
"However, what we have been able to do with Microsoft is ship PCs with a Vista Business licence but with XP pre-loaded. That is still the majority of business computers we are selling today."
/.../
The major PC vendors are still preloading Windows XP, but Microsoft is counting those XP preloads as Vista sales.

It's the same in Canada, and probably same anywhere else.
